The profession of Pharmacy remains one of the most fascinating fields in the sciences, the profession has been constantly challenged with newer problems and newer technologies. The industry has been witnessing phenomenal growth for the last 25-30 years. There had been an acute scarcity of skilled manpower during the early 90s and at the beginning of the 21st century. This has necessitated

The initiation of newer educational institutes in Pharmacy. But the unbridled mushrooming of Pharmacy colleges resulted to some extent a bit of compromise in quality of education

The class room teaching and practical training imparted in the Pharmaceutical institutions calls for regular review and up gradation. This is vital for bringing out of talented young pharmacists who can make the Indian Pharma industry comparable to the multinational companies.

Lots of newer technologies have percolated down to the production level and we have not yet caught up with these advancements. Globalization and IPR have created a situation where only innovative technologies and newer findings seem to be very rewarding... There is a paradigm shift in the approach of the Pharma Industries wherein more emphasis is given to research driven activities

With thousands of pharmacists pouring out from the large number of Pharmacy Colleges, we witness a stiff competition for Pharma jobs and only the best and well informed only can grab the most lucrative positions.

Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy is both an attractive and exacting course. The students are exposed to a number of basic and advanced subjects covering a broad spectrum of fields. The B. Pharm. Curriculum ensures that the graduates in Pharmacy become competent to handle a variety of jobs in their profession. There are opportunities galore to the real Pharmacist if he/she seriously contemplates to make his/her carrier bright and satisfying. They can have ample avenues to explore and excel in the fields of production and operations, quality control and quality assurance, research and development and regulatory affairs, product development and sales marketing, academics and drug regulatory departments and even careers abroad. Hence it is expected that parents along with their children give a serious thought to join B. Pharm. Course as a choice ahead of other professional courses.

The faculty should also realize the fact that computerization has shrunken the barriers of distance and the world today is a single village. It is necessary that they should keep themselves well informed about the latest developments in their field and they should also nurture a culture to appreciate inter-disciplinary research. They should particularly expend their thoughts and efforts in identifying the national priorities and also in taking their research efforts to meaningful and logical end. Staff should be competent enough to motivate the students and ignite in them the spark for real excellence. The ultimate goal should be aimed at achieving deliverables, the benefits of which trickle down to the common man. The teacher, in real sense, is a student throughout his/her life and should strive to adapt to emerging techniques so he/she can impart the best knowledge to the students.
